If you go to the gym on a regular basis and stress your skeletal muscles, they will grow in size  and increase their force-generating capacity by up-regulating thin and thick myofilaments.  The technical term that describes this process is called:  Type the best answer into the text box below:

Type the best and most specific answer into each blank below to make this sentence correct: The exact point of [blank1] development in a muscle is the bond between [blank2] on the thick filament and [blank3] on the thin filament.

When skeletal muscles are not stressed regularly (maybe due to a cast placed on a limb to repair a broken bone), they will decrease in size and force-generating capacity due to down-regulation of thick and thin myofilaments.  This process is technically referred to as:  Type the best answer into the text box below:
